RAINBOW WARRIOR
The U of Hawaii isn't involved here.
However, Rollen Stewart is (there's the Google search so you don't have to). Stewart was the one-man crew who took full advantage of his 15 minutes of fame with nothing but a rainbow wig, a portable television, and a banner reading "JOHN 3:16."
SportsCenter ran a pretty engaging story on the rise and fall of Rollen Stewart, and hopefully you're reading this in time if you've missed it, so you can either catch it on the late SportsCenter or the numerous reruns in the early morning. There were some anecdotes from Brent Musberger, from an ABC director from the Stewart era, from Stewart's good friend, and from Stewart's daughter.
Stewart is currently at California State Prison in Folsom serving out three life sentences. I won't spoil too much for you if you don't know about it already. For the part where they interview Stewart in prison, they show a camera panning out over a baseball diamond at the prison, and the first thing I thought about was the California Penal League -- I was waiting for Rick Vaughn to come out and mow down some batters.
